Reevesville, South Carolina Public Records

South Carolina allows bail to be posted through cash, surety bonds, or property bonds, and information on recently arrested individuals can be accessed through the detention center's records department.

Voters must provide their South Carolina driver's license or ID card number; those without can register by mail or in person. The state requires photo ID to vote in person, accepting SC driver's licenses, DMV-issued ID cards, SC voter registration cards with photo, military IDs, or US passports. As an incorporated town, Reevesville holds municipal elections for mayor and town council positions in even-numbered years, typically in November, concurrent with state general elections. The next municipal election is scheduled for November 2026, when voters will elect the mayor and council members for four-year terms. Candidate filing information and local ballot measures can be obtained from the Town Clerk at Reevesville Town Hall, 115 Railroad Avenue, 803-563-4261. Residents vote at a polling location assigned based on their precinct; voters can find their specific polling place by visiting scVOTES.gov/find-my-polling-place or calling the Dorchester County elections office. South Carolina makes certain election records publicly available under state law. Voter registration lists can be requested from the Dorchester County elections office for a fee and are commonly used for political campaigns and research, though Social Security numbers and certain personal information are redacted. Campaign finance records for candidates in state and county races are available through the South Carolina Ethics Commission at ethics.sc.gov, showing contributions and expenditures. Candidate filings and precinct-level election results are public records maintained by the Dorchester County elections office and published on their website after each election. In the November 2024 presidential election, Dorchester County reported approximately 62% voter turnout among registered voters, with participation reflecting South Carolina's status as an engaged electorate. Looking ahead to November 3, 2026, voters in the area will decide several significant races. South Carolina does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026, but voters will elect candidates for several statewide offices. The Governor's race is scheduled for 2026, as South Carolina governors serve four-year terms with elections in midterm years. Voters will elect state representatives for South Carolina House District 92, which includes Reevesville, along with county council representatives and potentially school board members. The Dorchester County Sheriff, Clerk of Court, Probate Judge, Auditor, Treasurer, and Coroner positions will be on the ballot, as these constitutional officers are elected to four-year terms. The town's municipal races for mayor and council will also appear on the ballot.

Absentee ballot applications must be submitted to the Dorchester County elections office; applications are available at scVOTES.gov or from the Dorchester County Elections Office. Early in-person voting is not available in South Carolina except for absentee voting at the Dorchester County elections office during the weeks before an election for those who qualify.
